For the third time in less than a year, I am without phone. The 8120 met its end by diving head first into a cup of ice water. It may have been my fault as I was trying to take a quick turn without getting killed. After about 20 minutes, I noticed it was swimming but it was too late. I pulled it out in time to see the screen short out. I was hopeful that after drying out, it may live again, but such is not the case.
Its a good thing I got the added insurance, which still requires me to pay a deductible (bullshit). So for the next 24 hours, I will be sans phone. If you need to reach me, you can’t. Its like being cut off from the rest of the world.

I considered it but I didn’t want to shell out that kind of cash. It would have cost me $200 to break contract with T-mo and another $235 for the Storm + activation. So for now, I paid my deductible and will stick with the Pearl and hopefully, it does not meet an untimely end.
